The official starting lineups for the Coppa Italia Final between Lazio and Inter Milan have been announced. Inter is fielding a formidable front line with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, while Lazio has brought back key players Mattia Zaccagni and Nuno Tavares in their quest for silverware and European qualification.
The match is set to kick off at the Stadio Olimpico at 20:00 UK time (21:00 CEST).
This 79th edition of the Coppa Italia will be decided within 90 minutes, with the possibility of extra time and a penalty shootout.
Inter aims to complete the Double after their recent Scudetto triumph, while Lazio sees this final as a crucial opportunity to lift a trophy and secure a spot in the Europa League. The winner will not only claim the prestigious cup but also guarantee European competition for the next season.
The teams met recently in Serie A at the same venue, with Inter emerging victorious with a 3-0 scoreline. However, tonight’s final is technically played on neutral ground.
Significantly, this match marks the return of Lazio’s ultras to the stands, ending their boycott of home games in protest against President Claudio Lotito. Their presence is expected to create a vibrant atmosphere.
Inter will be without the injured Hakan Calhanoglu, although he is on the bench to support his teammates. There were concerns about Marcus Thuram’s availability due to a muscular issue, but the striker has recovered and is ready to partner Lautaro Martinez in attack. Josep Martinez is the designated goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia matches.
For Lazio, this match is of paramount importance as their Serie A campaign has been less convincing, and a win here is their best route to European football. Nuno Tavares and Mattia Zaccagni return to the starting lineup, with Alessio Romagnoli also featuring despite facing suspension for the upcoming Rome Derby.
Tijjani Noslin will lead Lazio’s attack, supported by Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen on the wings. Danilo Cataldi and Nicolò Rovella are still recovering from long-term injuries, and Ivan Provedel is unavailable for this crucial fixture.
